To make it easier on old and new members alike, we will skip the battle and start role playing. The battle was of course won by the rebel forces, the cats of Autumn were wowed by the powers the Outsiders. The young kits of the clan fought tooth and claw to protect their clan but soon gave up since most of the older cats weren't fighting and had turned against them. Role Play is open -- 6.9.09 -- Ghost
I've tried to move all character bios to the proper boards. There were a few who's fates hadn't been determined yet, so I moved them wherever they were before AutumnClan.
All litters of kits were moved to the kit bios, because some of them are going into different Clans. If you are keeping a kit that does not have it's own bio yet, please make one so it can be put into the proper Clan board. Thanks! -- 6.7.09 -- Moon
Activity Check. Anyone who does not reply will be deleted and cats given away. So get your butts in gear! -- 6.7.09 -- Ghost
Hey there, wonderful roleplayers of FF.
As you know we're doing a big site cleanup in anticipation of it truly being reopened to the public. Please bear with us, and if at all possibly try to get your little corner of the site organized so you're ready too. Whether it be confirming what characters you're going to keep for the new roleplay/plot, editing bios, or whatever else is needed, try to make it happen. Just getting things the tiniest bit more organized and up to date will put us that much closer to our grand reopening!
Thanks so much, you guys are the best.
- The Staffers
The sky has cleared to blue, the rivers no longer red run true.
New life begins with perfection, it's all been treated with correction.
Yet cats start to wonder, about wind, river, shadow and thunder.
When tables turn and destruction starts, each cat will have to take part.
The heavens are clouded, the memories shrouded.
Shadows veil the stars, and reopen freshly healed scars.
Bleak times are to come, and the Clans may yet become undone.
The four lost and nearly forgotten Clans; ThunderClan, RiverClan, WindClan and ShadowClan are back once again and alive more than ever. But just because all seems well doesn't mean that there isn't a cat or two who thinks ill of their new life.
As the new stories of the Clans are being written and old ways renewed, the kits of the former great Clan of Autumnshade are finding it hard to adjust to a much more free and hard working life style. Tensions begin to build and it becomes very clear that things might not be going as planned.
And as fights begin to break out inside the clans themselves, clan-mates turn against clan-mates and friends who were once as "thick as thieves" drift apart because of thoughtless love. Cats begin to let one similar question pop into their mind. Are four clans really better than one and is there room for two sets of warrior ancestors? Only in time will we see the climax to these stories.
ThunderClan
Leader - - Arrowstar
Deputy - - Open

Weather --Newleaf the snow is now melting away and new life is spring from its snowy tombs and the breeze is now light and soothing, no longer harsh. Med. Cats should take innovatory of the lands.

quiet lonesomeness {open!} « Thread Started on Jun 11, 2009, 4:16pm »
THYMEHEaRT::
Finally, his life had once again slowed down. Life sped up and slowed down for him to the extent that he wasn't entirely sure how old he was any more. He wasn't too young, but he wasn't terribly old. maybe eventually he'd figure it out, but he had better things to keep track of. Some moons had dragged out, like when Galepaw had been carrying his kits, having to wait in anticipation for them to come; and some had gone by so fast he was sure if he blinked, he'd miss everything, like when the cats from AutumnClan had found his family of he, his mate, Loudpaw, Wolfpaw, and all their kits, and brought them back to bring down Autumnshade.
He rested his muzzle in the water, feeling it rush by and tug at him. He had lived life normally, then he was some special, 'gifted' cat. He had left his Clan in shame. He had his new life with Galepaw, Wolfpaw, and Loudpaw. The Clans had reentered his life and he fought to regain the four Clans. He rejoined his birth Clan.
Galepaw had been the one thing that remained consistent in his life. He loved her and she loved him and now, now they were apart again. She was in WindClan and he was in RiverClan. He was with one of their kits, Gracepaw, while she was with Rabbitpaw. How were they? His name had changed since they last met. Had hers aswell? His heart ached with loneliness and longing for Galepaw.
Thymeheart willed for the lanky grey she-cat to come running. But he knew he was too far from the border, and besides, she wouldn't be there, so why get his hopes up?
Feeling lonely, the wet-headed tom lifted his head from the water and turned away and hoped for something more likely: a Clanmate to come and talk to him and, hopefully, make him momentarily forget the distance from his mate.

She was dazed, confused. Perhaps slightly out of it more than she should be as she left the Medicine Cat den and Foxglove. She had let her paws carry her out, through the territory of Riverclan. She had intentions of heading towards Thunderclan, another clan...perhaps Windclan? That was where her mother was. Her mother and...her sister. Rabbit. She missed her dearly although they had never gotten along the best. Grace had not always been the kindest and welcoming she-cat. She still wasn't. She knew her father was here, but she was sure he was in the clan. Her eyes blurred with a tear or two she hadn't seen much. Not even her father as she bumped into him.
Her blue eyes grew wide as she saw him. Did he even pay attention to her life anymore? He was too lost in the thought of her mother and sister. Grace seemed forgotten or at least she thought she seemed that way. "Dad. I'm sorry. I was just...passing through you know." Her voice was quiet as she murmured words quickly her paws quickly trying to keep her moving around the road block she had encountered. The last thing she needed was her father asking her of the kits she carried and the father. She wouldn't be able to hold a lie to him. She would have to tell him. She couldn't lie to her father. No, she couldn't lie to him. Others yes, but him no.
Just keep going Grace. She told herself hoping that her body would listen. But that it would not. Her paw took a shaky step away from him. And then another, she was already increasing the distance between them one step at a time.

Caught in his own thoughts, the dark brown tom was startled when his daughter appeared, snapping him out of his reverie. He hadn't talked to her much lately. He felt bad for holding so loosely to the other part of his family that was still around him. He had put those thoughts on the backburner, half-convincing himself that they were both just caught up in their own lives.
"Hey Grace," he mewed with a smile to his daughter. Was she plumper than she was before? The thought struck Thymeheart that his daughter was probably pregnant. Had she taken a mate without his noticing? What kind of father was he if that was the sort of thing he was unaware of.
What he was aware of, though, was that she was visibly stressed. He didn't like to see anyone upset. Perhaps things were not all well with her mate or her kits? If she hadn't told him she was expecting, that probably meant she didn't want him to know. The warrior didn't want to upset his daughter further, so he decided not to mention it directly. "Is there anything wrong?" he asked gently. "If you need to talk about anything, remember you can tell me anything." He swiped his paws over his face, trying to dry it. A cat with a messy, wet face was not one you would want to spill out your thoughts to.

She was quite worked over already and besides that fact Thymeheart had decided to talk to her. At least she wasn't being ignored. That was a slight plus though at the moment she was willing to take that back in a second. Oh Starclan. She stopped in her tracks, her long gray fur slightly ruffled though only slightly. Her eyes caught his as her ears took in the sounds that were his words. They were mushed together as she was nervous and couldn't quite decide how she was going to handle this. She had to tell him, although he already knew.
"Yes. Lots and lots and lots. Okay first off you have to promise absolutely to not say a word you'll want to kill me so I'll stand over here." She gave a soft smile, her dry humor was something that she got a smile out of herself for. She took a few steps back. "Far enough." She agreed with herself a slight but still noticeable nervousness was surrounding her. "Okay. I'm not fat, you know that. Pregnant with kits yes. Father...well that's where it gets a little complicated. " Grace tilted her head taking a few more steps back. Her words were quick so her father could not slip any comment in.
"Well you know...umm before Foxglove became Medicine Cat. Yeahhh just so happens he is the father and Starclan kill me now if you don't. But it wasn't his fault he got made into Medicine Cat!!" Her temper was flaring slightly as she spilled everything to her father. Her eyes caught the ground and she shuffled her paws lightly in front of her. How young and innocent she sounded. She really hadn't meant for this to happen and even thought it wasn't her fault he was Medicine Cat she still didn't know what to do. She was sure her father would be disappointed in her. Although the negligence he had shown could easily be twisted back around at him. She let her eyes look up quickly before casting them back at the ground as a tear bulged at the corner of her eye.

It took Thymeheart a moment to process what his daughter had just said. She was pregnant with Foxglove-- the medicine cat apprentice. The kits that his daughter carried were against the warrior code; that would easily explain why he was unaware of their relationship.
The dark-furred warrior wasn't sure what to say. He thought quickly, knowing that in front of him was a terrified young she-cat who was sure her father would be upset with her. He still didn't know what to say, but he had to do something, so he just went with what he knew.
Thymeheart took a few cautious steps towards Grace, as if she were a piece of prey he expected to run away if he scared it. "Grace, I'm not mad," he said. "I'm a little disappointed, but nothing more. I feel far too young to be a grandfather, but that doesn't matter." That thought brought back the thought that he wasn't sure exactly how old he was. "I know how it feels to love someone you can't have. Galepaw and I were in different Clans when we fell in love, and... I'm not even going to continue that, because I know it's totally different for you."
"I wish I could say something to rest your fears. Sometimes I wish that my powers could not only heal wounds but also stop worries," he sighed. "I understand you love him, and I'm sure you'll take good care of the kits." He stopped to look at the grey she-cat. "Are you going to tell the Clan he's the father?"

Grace sighed softly listening to her father and letting him take his steps closer. He wasn't the most comforting she could vouch for that now at least. But it wasn't so bad....she knew it could be worse. "I know you're disappointed. I didn't mean for it to end this way, I know that. " Her eyes looked to the ground and she sighed softly once more before letting her eyes rest on him. Hearing his last fragment of words she took a sharp breath inward.
"I couldn't do that. Not to him. He doesn't deserve to have his position taken from him because of something that happened before the four clans came back into existence." Her voice was soft and toned down. She couldn't risk another hearing the conversation between father and daughter. She didn't want to risk Foxglove his chance at becoming the medicine cat of Riverclan one day. That would be the last thing she would do.
"I'll have to claim another...or just say it was by mishap of wandering. I'll have to have an excuse I know that." The sadness in her eyes was easily identifiable. Though the nervousness seemed to disappear. Somebody else knew now. It wasn't just her burden to bear. Maybe she could stay here....maybe Thunderclan wasn't needed now.

Thymeheart nodded. His daughter was being quite mature about this, which he greatly appreciated. He could only imagine how Rabbitpaw would be acting if she was in the same situation; his WindClan daughter was still a kit at heart and while she could run from many things, she could not run from her problems. It was good of Grace to not have Foxflove punished for what had happened.
He nodded. "Cats might get suspicious, but a queen has the right to keep the father's identity a secret, so it's not their place to wonder," he said, nodding. He thought of the future. Grace would have to move to the nursery, sooner or later. How far away was the next Gathering? The dark brown tom wasn't sure, but Galepaw deserved to know that Grace was going to have kits.
He gave her a smile. "So, if you ever feel lonely or scared, feel free to talk to me, all right? I'll be there for you and your kits, even if Foxglove can't be," he said softly to her. He wasn't sure what more he could say to put his daughter's mind at ease, so he decided to leave it at that.

Grace smiled softly at her father. She was running out of words and needed to get back to camp after this little run in. She was glad that he had helped in the little way that he could. At least somebody else knew and she wasn't stuck in the predicament where she had been moments before. He was backing her in this situation, at least that was how she understood it. At least she felt a little more secure than she had when her eyes found the morning sun at day break. Her pale blue eyes landed on him and she sighed contentedly. "Thanks dad, for everything. "
Her voice was soft, and she couldn't help but wonder if she would ever see her sister and mother. "If you see mom, or Rabbit, tell them hi?" The statement hung in the air as she dipped her head in a departing gesture. She hated to leave her father just sitting here, but it would be better than the awkward silence they'd pass between them. "I'm going to head back to camp..." She mewed softly turning to head in the direction she came from.

Clearly, the conversation was over. What needed to be said was said, and whatever distance that had been between Thymeheart and his daughter was shortened greatly, or at least he would like to think so. She thanked him, and he nodded slowly to acknowledge it. It wasn't much that he had done, but she was more relaxed, so what needed to be done had been done.
Thymeheart sighed and nodded as Grace mentioned his mate and other daughter. There was slim to none chance of him seeing either of them soon, but he could still hope. "Of course," he said. He watched as she turned around, beginning to leave. "G'bye," he said softly as she began to leave. He turned back to the river and laid down once more, his head falling on his paws softly. He saw a quick silver flash in the water. Oh how much easier life would be if he was a fish. Swimming upstream and trying not to get caught were the only difficulties their prey ever faced.
